Film screening: ‘Visit Dungavel: Monster of the Glen’ by Camcorder Guerilla’s, during Document 4 Human Rights Film Festival. 12th - 16th Oct 2006. Using documentary, testimony, animation, original music and drama, Visit Dungavel: Monster of The Glen (25 mins) is a shocking, funny, informative and moving series of short films about detention - and, since this is a Camcorder Guerilla film - what to do about it.

Camcorder Guerillas is a Glasgow-based collective of independent, radical filmmakers supported in its aims by a network of members and affiliates. As part of a global movement they produce and showcase progressive, non-mainstream films based on the issues and campaigns affecting our communities.

Robin Taudevin was an independent photo-journalist who drowned in East Timor in May 2006 aged 29. His photographic work is intricately connected to his commitment to social justice. From Sept 2005 Robin dedicated much of his time to independently photographing asylum seekers in Glasgow. This is a selection of some of that work. His exhibition ‘Fighting For Refuge: Glasgow to East Timor: World’s Apart?’ was shown at Mono (Kings Court, Glasgow).
